Product Designer (mobile)

Hey, You! Nice to meet you!

As the leading platform for non-professional football in Europe, we bring professional experiences — from news and data to gamification — directly to a community of over 190 million footballers and fans.

We are Prematch, founded in 2021 in Cologne — a dynamic startup with a smart and ambitious team. Our marketing and business teams are based in Cologne, Berlin, and London, while our tech and product teams work remotely across Europe.

We’re backed by strong partners such as adidas, Krombacher, NIVEA MEN, and Techniker Krankenkasse — with a couple of exciting collaborations still in the pipeline. Successful investors like Ralf Reichert (CEO of ESL) and Verena Pausder are supporting us on our journey.

Already a good match if you....

• Location: 100% remote: you’re excited to work either from our offices in Cologne or fully remote — whatever suits you best.
• Experience: You have at least 2 years of relevant experience and feel confident in your role.
• You enjoy working in a growing team & startup environment.

… That fits already? Then you should read on

• Remote, even from afar — Whether it’s a week of sunshine abroad or a few days with family — we allow flexible work from outside your usual location.
